Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThis study examines racial disparities in the prevalence of noncommunicable chronic diseases (CNCDs) in Brazil. It also assesses whether these disparities persist after adjusting for sociodemographic factors.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted using data from the 2019 National Health Survey. The sample included 94,114 individuals aged 15 years or older. Fifteen self-reported CNCD outcomes were analyzed. Color or race was the main independent variable. Age and sex were treated as confounders, while education and income were conceptualized as socioeconomic mediators. Additionally, behavioral risk factors, including smoking, alcohol consumption, and physical activity, were incorporated into the adjusted models. Poisson regression was used to estimate prevalence ratios (PR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI), incorporating sample weights.
resultsIn the Brazilian population, the prevalence of arterial hypertension (AH) was 24.76% (95% CI: 24.26%–25.27%) and multimorbidity was 28.58% (95% CI: 28.02%–29.15%). Black color/race was associated with AH (PR: 1.01; 95% CI: 1.03–1.10), diabetes (PR: 1.07; 95% CI: 1.00–1.15), and stroke (PR: 1.20; 95% CI: 1.04–1.38). In adjusted analysis, Black color/race remained associated with AH (PR: 1.19; 95% CI: 1.15–1.22), diabetes (PR: 1.17; 95% CI: 1.09–1.25), and stroke (PR: 1.24; 95% CI: 1.08–1.43). Mixed/Brown color/race was associated with AH (PR: 1.05; 95% CI: 1.03–1.07) and diabetes (PR: 1.05; 95% CI: 1.00–1.10).
conclusionThis study reveals a higher prevalence of CNCDs among Black and Mixed-race populations in Brazil, even after adjusting for sociodemographic variables. The persistence of racial health disparities and underscore the urgent need for public policies that promote racial equity, improve health system responsiveness, and confront structural racism as a critical determinant of health.
